Charging Ahead with #EV Growth Beyond Cars; #Lithium-ion Batteries will Continue to Dominate; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (NYSE: $ALB) (CSE: $TOP.C) (OTCQB: $ENRT) (NYSE: $SU)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 26, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering lithium and cleantech stocks issues a snapshot looking at how the EV market is on an exponential growth curve, fuelled by both policy and consumer demand.

“China is charging full speed ahead into electric vehicles, on track to sell over 2 million electric vehicles this year, from 1.1 million in 2018”, says Cleantechnia.

IDTechEX says the demand for EV trucks and buses has only just started, especially in China. Lithium-ion batteries will continue to dominate according to the report. “In a series of waves, the storage demand is powering upwards to over $200 billion in 2029 with buses and delivery vans already well into electrification.”

When discussing EV’s and lithium demand, one company “driving” the conversation is Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA). Tesla has been on an upward push the last two years; for the three months ended September 30th, 2018 vs September 30th, 2017 Tesla reported revenue of $6.8MM vs $2.9MM, up 128.65%, with the estimated EPS forecast for the next fiscal year being $6.13 and is expected to report on January 29th, 2020.

The success of Tesla has allowed lithium extractors and producers to ride the same wave of success, but will there be enough lithium fast enough to meet market demands, and if so which company will take the lead?

Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) reported very positive results just last week for Q4 and the 2018 financial year. Fourth quarter net sales were $921.7 million, an increase of 7% over the prior year; earnings were $129.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, an increase of 162% over the prior year.

"2018 was a successful year for Albemarle on many fronts. Excluding divested businesses, we delivered full year, total company adjusted EBITDA growth of 17%, adjusted diluted EPS growth of 23% and we finished the year strong as all of our reportable segments delivered growth in the fourth quarter. In addition, we returned significant value to shareholders through increased dividends of $145 million and $500 million in share repurchases, while continuing significant growth investment in our Lithium platform," said Luke Kissam, Albemarle's CEO. "Lithium contributed just over 50% of our adjusted EBITDA, driven by 10% volume growth and 9% pricing compared to 2017."

Less than 1.5 miles from Albemarle’s Silver Peak Project, Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) (CSE: TOP) recently announced an update on their synthetic solution testing.

Since Fall 2018, Enertopia has been running tests to recover lithium in the most cost-effective manner from synthetic brine solutions produced by leaching surface, lithium bearing claystones.  To date, 32 solution tests have been run to create a database that forms the building block for upcoming solution tests.

Their 3^rd phase of solution testing is expected to be in full swing by early March 2019 and will use drill core material from the diamond drill holes from their recently completed drilling program and will consist of 49 different sample intervals covering 397 feet of core.

Pre-pH adjustments have demonstrated positive outcomes as contaminant minerals are greatly reduced allowing for a cleaner synthetic lithium brine to be processed using off the shelf technologies and variants developed by Entertopia. 

The company's technical advisors believe the positive testing to date may warrant patent protection and thus the Company is keeping all internal data strictly confidential at this time. The Company has signed several NDA’s with industry partners as it works to reaching its goal of a low capex solution to battery grade lithium production.

“With our positive drill program completed, our focus and energy can turn to our solution testing of the drilled lithium horizons. We continue to strive for a low-cost mining and processing solution to unlock the potential value of the Lithium enriched claystones,” stated CEO, Robert McAllister.

Big and small investors are taking note of the traction the lithium market is gaining, including Warren Buffet and Berkshire  Hathaway who recently disclosed a 0.7% stake on February 14th into Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE: SU) . And why?  It fits into his EV strategy; one he started years ago with BYD, that has grown to become China’s biggest sellers of EV’s.  

Suncor just announced that Petro-Canada, a Suncor business, is building a network of electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations across the country. “With more than 1,800 retail and wholesale locations across the country we have the network in place to build Canada’s first electric highway, providing coast-to-coast EV charging for our customers. We’re also investing in the fastest charging EV technology available today, which will be able to easily upgrade as technology advances.”   

With more positive financial results and improved extraction technology like Enertopia is working on, EV’s and lithium are finally on point to replace the energy technology of the past; oil and gas.

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces More High-Grade In-Fill & Expansion Drill Results

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces More High-Grade In-Fill & Expansion Drill Results

·        1.4 Metres at 15,839 gpt AgEq

·        5.1 Metres at 2,174 gpt AgEq

·        6.5 Metres at 1,586 gpt AgEq

Vancouver, British Columbia - February 25, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL.V; NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL) (NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to report further Phase III drill results for the Las Chispas Property (the "Property") located in Sonora, Mexico. The 19 reported in-fill and expansion drill holes in this news release were targeting mineralization in the Babicanora Vein, Babicanora Norte ("Babi Norte") Vein, the Babicanora Footwall ("Babi FW") Vein and the Babicanora Hangingwall ("Babi HW") Vein (see attached Figures). While targeting mineralization in the Babi Norte Vein, the Company has discovered a new vein named "Babi Vista", the ninth vein out of 30 veins in the district.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, "The Company's in-fill drill program at Babicanora continues to deliver drill intercepts with better than expected widths and grade. These results demonstrate that the two previously announced multi-kilogram per tonne shoots (shoots 43 and 51) now appear to be one continuous shoot ("Shoot 51"). Holes BA19-132 and 133 have also expanded the footprint of the high grade shoot towards the surface. Shoot 51 now has an estimated dimension of 300 metres long by 125 metres high. In-fill drilling targeting the Babicanora Vein also confirmed and expanded high-grade mineralization within the Babi FW and Babi HW veins, while expansion drilling targeting the Babi Norte Vein resulted in the Babi Vista discovery. The Company has now identified five veins averaging 150 metres apart in the Babicanora area, all of which have the potential to be accessible from the ongoing exploration decline. The Company is scheduled to intersect Shoot 51 in H2, 2019 and plans initial development of 800 metres along the strike of the high-grade mineralization in Area 51. This planned decline helps to further de-risk Area 51 with bulk sampling and provides meaningful information for the engineering studies. These new results will be part of the next resource update, which we expect to announce in March, 2019".

The most significant result for this release in is Hole BA18-133 which intersected 1.4 metres (estimated drilled width) grading 64.25 gpt gold (or "Au") and 11,020 gpt silver (or "Ag"), or 15,839 gpt silver equivalent ("AgEq", based on assumptions defined in the table below). Also noteworthy are holes BA18-132, at 5.1 metres grading 11.47 gpt Au and 1,313.8 gpt Ag, or 2,174 gpt AgEq, and BA18-131 at 6.5 metres grading 9.99 gpt Au and 836.7 gpt Ag, or 1,586 gpt AgEq. The following table summarizes the most significant drill intercepts (uncut, undiluted) for this release;

Babi FW Vein In-Fill Drill Intercepts:

Babi HW Vein In-Fill Drill Intercepts:

Babi Norte Vein Expansion Drill Intercepts:

Babi Vista Vein Drill Intercepts:

Note: all numbers are rounded. Based on a cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq with 0.5 metre minimum width. Babi FW Vein intercept in hole BA18-122 was noted as part of Babicanora Vein. Babi Vista Vein intercepts BAN18-14, 30, 33 and UBN18-03 were previously reported in various news releases as unknown veins.

*AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) calculated using long-term silver and gold prices of US$18.50 per ounce silver and US$1,225 per ounce gold, with average metallurgical recoveries of 86.6% silver and 98.9% gold.

**True width is 80 to 100% of drilled width.

***UB signifies an underground drill hole.

All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico, and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.

For the Babicanora Vein, Hole BA18-127 was lost downhole and BA18-129, 130, 136 to 138, 140 and 141 are below the Company's cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq for Las Chispas. Assay results "cutoff date" for this release was February 8, 2019. The same cutoff date for the upcoming resource estimate. Assay results for hole BA18-135 will be reported in due course as they were not received before cutoff date. For the Babi Norte Vein, holes BAN18-41, 42, 44 to 49, 52, and 55 are below the Company's cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq.

In-fill and expansion drill results for Babi FW Vein and Babi HW Vein show confirmation and expansion of previously announced high-grade footprints (see attached Figures and news release dated January 9, 2019). Drill results for the Babi FW Vein have increased the high-grade mineralized footprint (discrete zones) from 900 to 1,200 metres. Both Babi FW and Babi HW veins are sub-parallel to the adjacent Babicanora Vein at a distance of 3 to 30 metres. These veins are related to several discrete high-grade zones (shoots) representing intersections of cross-cutting structures similar to all other drill-tested veins in the district.

Expansion drilling on the Babi Norte Vein has increased the high-grade mineralized footprint (discrete zones) from 900 metres to 1.2 kilometres. The "Babi Vista" Vein was previously considered part of Babi Norte; however, with further drilling, Babi Vista has been identified as a separate new vein which may be the extension of the Granaditas Vein or a splay of Babi Norte Vein (see attached Figures). Babi Vista is considered the ninth discovered vein of the known 30 veins in the district.

A total of 58 in-fill and expansion holes have been completed in the Babicanora veins since the September 13, 2018 resource estimate. Since that date, 39 in-fill holes in Area 51 high-grade footprint show an estimated weighted average (true width, uncut, undiluted) of 3.5 metres grading 11.30 gpt Au and 1,093.3 gpt Ag, or 1,941 gpt AgEq. For comparison, in the September 13, 2018 resource estimate, Area 51 had an estimated weighted average true width of 2.7 metres, grading 7.13 gpt Au and 614 gpt Ag, or 1,148 gpt AgEq.

The Company continues its Phase III exploration program with 12 drills operating on site. Drills are focused on expanding mineralization and improving the resource confidence through in-fill drilling (25 to 35 metre spacing) to reclassify Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated. The assay cutoff date for the imminent resource update was February 8, 2019. The upcoming resource update for the Las Chispas Project is being prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. ("Tetra Tech"). For the upcoming resource, Tetra Tech intends to apply a minimum vein width of 0.5 metres to the veins in the Babicanora area for modelling, a decrease from a minimum width of 1.5 metres used in the September 2018 Resource Estimate. An additional 40,000 to 50,000 metres of infill and expansion drilling are planned for H1, 2019. Other ongoing site work includes the PEA study expected in early Q2, ground breaking for the Area 51 decline, an extensive metallurgical test program, testing large diameter wells for site water, and permitting for various additional work.

#Lithium’s High Global Demand; A New Call for ‘Drill Baby Drill’ But Now it’s for #EV Metal Miners: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

#Lithium’s High Global Demand; A New Call for ‘Drill Baby Drill’ But Now it’s for #EV Metal Miners: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 20, 2019 - Investorideas.com, one of the first global investor news source covering lithium stocks issues a snapshot looking at the projected growth demand for lithium and how lithium miners are looking to meet the growing global demand.

According to Research and Markets, the lithium ion battery market is estimated to grow from USD 37.4 billion in 2018 to USD 92.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2018 and 2024. The growth of the lithium ion battery market is driven by an increase in demand for plug-in vehicles, growing need for automation and battery-operated material-handling equipment in industries, growing demand for smart devices and other industrial goods, and high requirement of lithium-ion batteries for various industrial applications.

Electric Vehicle (EV) metals are all in demand; lithium, cobalt, rare earths, graphite, nickel, and copper. Here is how a few lithium companies are betting on the future and ramping up.

Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB:ENRT) (CSE:TOP) is looking to expand its lithium capacity, having recently announced that all drill core sample assays have been received from the four resource definition holes and one metallurgical test hole. The best hole for grade and thickness was TOP-02* that averaged 1,231 ppm li over 262 feet, Including 1,368 ppm li over 186 feet in the main reduced zone.

Drilling confirms widespread lithium mineralization on the property. This zone appears to have a regional NE trend starting from the Southwest on Cypress Development’s proposed high-grade starter pit, with an average grade of ~ 1,105 ppm Li and running through the project and then onto Noram Ventures project to the northeast where they have outlined a shallow resource to ~ 50 feet averaging 1,060 ppm li.

“Drilling has not only verified the Company’s expectations for the potential of the lithium horizon on our property but we have been able to show by the drill bit that the drill intersections to date indicate any future outlined resource could have Lithium values exceeding those of the proposed high grade starter pit envisioned on the Cypress Development property to our southwest,” stated President, Robert McAllister.

Regional map and drill hole specific data

Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV:SLL.V) (OTC:STLHF) also reported on a maiden lithium resource statement for its approximately 30,000 acre Project (aka TETRA Project) in the south-western region of Arkansas, USA.  The maiden resource report includes 802,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) at the Inferred Resource Category.  Combined with Standard Lithium’s other project in Southern Arkansas, this results in a total combined Arkansas lithium brine resource of 3,888,000 tonnes LCE.

Robert Mintak, CEO said, “This combined project in Southern Arkansas positions us as the largest lithium brine resource in the US; a significantly expanding market that currently relies on imports of foreign lithium.”  Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium continued “Our collaboration with TETRA Technologies was fundamental in allowing Standard Lithium to gain a meaningful foothold in the south-west Arkansas Project area, and this maiden resource estimate is validation of the high resource potential we identified in this highly prospective region.  We look forward to tighter definition of this resource and developing its potential in parallel with the Lanxess property.”

Companies like Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) who recently reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results have seen the benefits of increased lithium demand.  For the year, Livent reported revenue of $443 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to 2017.

"We delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 in-line with our prior expectations," said Paul Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of Livent Corporation. "Looking ahead to 2019, we expect revenue growth in the high teens percentage, driven largely by higher volumes and a stable pricing environment."

"The fundamental drivers of demand in our industry continue to be positive. In particular, electric vehicle sales that are consistently exceeding even the most bullish forecasts, as well as battery technology developments that are increasingly favoring lithium hydroxide.  We remain confident that Livent will continue to be a leader in the performance lithium compounds industry in the coming years."
